The septum piercing is definitely having a moment and this didn’t start now, but last year. Rihanna and Lady Gaga were seen sporting such type of piercing, so if you want to get in line with the celebrities, here are 90 designs among which you’ll definitely find one that suits you!
What do you need to know about septum piercings? Well, for starters, no one will actually pierce the cartilage that separates your two nostrils. There is a thin layer of skin between the cartilage and the bottom of your nose. That’s the one that gets pierced and is able to support a jewel.
Will it hurt? Yes, it will pinch a little and you will probably shed a tear or two because of all nerve endings connected to your eyes. However, you’ll be fine after a couple of minutes and completely pain free after 2 or 3 weeks. It will take longer for your new piercing to fully heal. Specialists urge you to care for your piercing for 6 months until the hole is formed and all the tissue becomes intact.
A septum piercing is incredibly versatile. You can make a statement by wearing it or hide it whenever necessary. Since the area that actually gets pierced is not exposed, you will not suffer the trauma of getting scarred. I can’t see any downside to this type of piercing, so let’s take a look at gorgeous chicks wearing one!

Depending on the size and shape of your nose, you can opt for more elaborate jewels like this one.

This is probably the most classic type of piercing ring for your septum. Most salons will have this design available anytime and recommend it too.

The position of a septum piercing favors flat designs too. This one is of tribal nature and of medium size.
14. A classy septum retainer
The type of jewelry this gorgeous babe is wearing is called septum retainer. Basically, it is meant to keep the hole from closing and it can be hidden without causing inconveniences.

32. Geometric ring for nasal septum
Those jewelry that are shaped like geometrical shapes are a hit too! Just look how discreetly this triangle is pointing towards the upper lip piercing!

If you’re getting a nose piercing or a lip piercing, you’re automatically attracting attention to those areas. Piercings are a nice trick to emphasize your best features.
42. Redheaded Indian princess
The Indian culture is fascinating. One argument in that regard is that some of its elements ended up as nose jewelry.
43. Shiny stones and pretty flowers as piercings
First of all, any type of piercing looks amazing if it is clean and properly healed. Second of all, choosing a clean cut jewelry that shines will make it even more appealing.
44. Adventurous and wild through simplicity
Flawless looks might not be your thing, so here’s a woman who ventured herself to getting pierced, but maintained her wild style.
45. Moon crystals ring for septum

A witch is even more intriguing if she is wearing a nasal piercing, isn’t it? In fact, this statement could apply to any girl.

Once again, the septum piercing contributes to the creation of another type of look, namely the doll look.
49. Horseshoe ring for round faces
The horseshoe ring is a good choice for both oval and round faces. It has the advantage of creating an optical illusion that elongates your face.
50. Infinity rings for oval faces
Infinity rings are recommended for oval faces. As you can see, they don’t have a similar effect to the horseshoe rings. This chick looks awesome with infinity rings on because her face is oval.
51. Atypical look with septum rings
Some makeup and a fitted nose ring may change your look in an instant!
52. Beaded ring for a clean look
A few beads attached to a nose ring are just right. The obtained look is clean and interesting at the same time.
53. Playing with geometrical shapes
Your face, eyes, nose and lips can be narrowed down to geometrical shapes. You can experiment with jewels shaped like geometry figures in order to obtain the most flattering result.
54. Simple and elegant look
A simple and elegant look might be harder to achieve than you think! Especially if you have a nostril piercing as well, you might draw attention in two places rather than one. Opting for a tiny nostril piercing and a shiny septum piercing is a successful recipe.
55. White accessory for your septum
There isn’t a huge difference between white and silver piercings. However, the material they’re made of is important. For starters, you shouldn’t wear anything else but surgical steel or gold if you know for sure that you’re not allergic to it. A professional piercer will probably not recommend gold as the best metal to wear in a fresh wound.
56. Wide horseshoe ring and a tiny dot
A wide horseshoe ring is easier to handle, especially during the healing period. Cleaning it with saline solution to prevent scratches is advisable. The nostril dot makes the septum piercing stand out more.
57. Thick infinity ring for long nose
Proportion and design are important factors to consider when picking a jewel and a spot to pierce. That way you will feel more confident and sexier when the job is done.
58. Rasta chick with passion for piercings
Glasses, dreads and a multitude of piercing types can go well together if you do it tastefully. This chick managed to find a combination that looks truly good, without making her face too crowded.
59. Rihanna’s statement nose ring
Large and highly decorative jewels are considered statement jewels. Rihanna is known for always bringing something new to her looks. If you like her style, you can adapt it to your own style.
60. Narrow ring for narrow noses
In contrast with the wide horseshoe ring, this one is a narrow horseshoe ring. It has the same shape, but it fits one’s nose differently. This is a celebrity look that you should take into consideration. Why? She is the living proof that positive feedback is guaranteed! In case you didn’t recognize her, this is Scarlett Johansson we’re talking about!
61. Not wide or narrow
This piercing design is not wide, nor narrow. It’s in between.
62. Infinity ring that stands out
This infinity ring is supposed to stand out. You don’t have to always get what fits perfectly to your face if you want to flaunt it like she does. That lipstick color draws attention to that part of her face anyhow.
63. Perfect look complimented by a piercing
The truth is that you don’t need a septum piercing, unless you want it. You can look perfect without it, like this woman would. Even so, it’s a nice addition to a beautiful face.
64. Freckles and nose jewels
This is how a septum horseshoe ring looks like on a face that isn’t covered with makeup. Are freckles and nose jewels a good combination? Definitely yes!
65. Gothic attitude and piercings
Gothic girls sport more piercing than princess type girls. They have a tougher attitude, but they are sweet at the same time. This look can be achieved with several face piercings.
66. Youngsters sporting nose rings
Youngsters like to add a piercing or two to their bodies too. Septum piercings are a good idea because they’re hip, leave no marks and they may be hidden from teachers too!
67. Perfectly centered face with piercings

Add a bit of sparkle to your everyday look by choosing a crystal hinged septum clicker.
73. Alternative style with septum clickers
This chick shows off her piercings and tattoos in a selfie from which we have a lot to learn. Her personality is easy to read thanks to these body modifications. You can do the same if you want to speak to people without actually talking.
74. Sporty style with a golden accessory
Sporty women are in luck too! Featuring s design for goddesses, her nose ring flatters her!
75. Jeweled and beaded nose accessory
The so called rose gold is also a hit! It blends nicely with the natural skin color.
76. Silver helps you sparkle
Gold is the color of gods, but isn’t silver sparkly? I love the combination she chose for her style.
77. Black infinity ring

78. From small to large
Small septum ring and huge earrings! She has a strong personality for sure!

Double and triple septum rings are a thing too! Don’t worry, you don’t need two holes to wear such jewel!

87. The green and black combination
Matching the color of your glasses with the color of your face jewelry is always a good idea!
88. The green, black and silver combination
Although the previous combination is successful, you can diversify by adding a few silvery beads as well.
89. The white and silver combination
Since white and silver are complementary colors, they always look good together.
90. A discreet as possible
This septum retainer confers the most discreet look you can achieve with a septum piercing. If you think you’re tired of it, give it more time with a retainer ring.
Don’t rush into picking jewelry just now! After you’ve properly researched a professional piercer, expect a fee that ranges between $40 and $90. There are few salons that only ask for $30 for a septum piercing. They don’t include a jewel though. Getting a stainless steel jewel from a salon that was sanitized is best for when you actually get pierced. Ideally, this one should be shaped like a horseshoe because it helps with the healing process. Happy piercing!
